8 Inward direct investment
Are there any data on employment in foreign-owned versus indigenous industry at the regional level (provide a sectoral breakdown of such data if available)
No such data could be found. Nevertheless, in order to get an impression of the volume of foreign direct investment in the German Länder, a table is provided below indicating, that the economic division between Eastern and West German Länder is also obvious in terms of inward direct investments as the new Länder remain substantially below the figures of the old Länder.
